The syllabus is comprehensive and succinct but has sufficient leeway for the teacher to go beyond the brief particularly in the case of the sciences. This doesn't mean the Commerce and Liberal Arts are neglected. On the contrary, these streams offer a much wider variety of the subject mixtures. Bangalore specifically and Karnataka generally have of a phalanx of engineering and medical colleges & the CET for professional courses, and that is the pride of this state. Rising for the challenge, the PU Board has, over the years, honed the syllabus (or do I say curriculum?) that prepares the student to arrange for competitive examinations in support of entry into courses ranging from architecture to veterinary sciences.And here is the pleasant surprise, the languages, both English and Kannada have not been neglected!
An enlightened area of education, ably led by a young and enthusiastic minister for primary & secondary education, constantly strives not just to update the program of study and also upgrade key personnel with periodic teaching programs & brainstorming sessions & is striving to offer infrastructure and tools that enable education.
The Board conducts the yearly PU examination extend across thousands of centres throughout the state and organize systematic and well-organized evaluation of papers where transparency is the watchword. Students can request photocopies of the answer scripts and there's room for an request for revaluation and not just retotalling.
Not surprisingly, the Primus trust has taken a way breaking initiative to start the Primus PU College in its superb campus off Sarjapur road, Bangalore. The college boasts of state of the art infrastructure which incorporates laboratories, audio visual aids, smart boards in brief, the works!!!! A group of well qualified and highly trained professors who're a blend of youthful exuberance and also the wisdom that arrives only from experience. Admissions for the Primus PUC are underway and the college is getting students from numerous streams just like the IGCSE, ICSE, CBSE including State Boards.
Small surprise that the students from Pre university courses are given first preference for admission to colleges in the state. In fact, like charity, patriotism also begins at home.
